LITTLE ROCK — This month marks the 67th anniversary of a pivotal moment in the American civil rights movement, when the eyes of the country were on Arkansas as the Little Rock Nine — a group of nine black students, integrated Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957. The journey toward desegregation began with the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954, which declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. In response, the Little Rock School District, led by Superintendent Virgil Blossom, developed a gradual integration plan set to commence at Central High.
